Handpan, Small size 46cm, 9 notes, G minor, A=440Hz

Handpan
This is a new item, but it has been opened for inspection, cleaning, photography, and trial playing.

The standard size is 56 cm,
but this one is a smaller diameter of 46 cm.

Recommended for those who find 56 cm a bit large,
or as a second instrument for those who already own a 56 cm model.

The center note on the 56 cm model is D,
but this one starts with G3 (the note G).
It is 3 notes higher.
The scale is the same as the standard D minor scale, but an octave higher, and sounds similar.
For the highest notes, C5 and D5, the donut part rings better than the navel.
The tone changes between the navel and the donut part for all notes.

The thickness is approximately 20 cm.

The last image shows the note arrangement, fundamental frequency,
and the frequencies of this handpan.
The top is the scale, the middle is the reference frequency, and the bottom is the actually measured frequency.
Please note that measurements made with an Android app may have slight deviations.

This instrument, unlike guitars or pianos, cannot be perfectly tuned.
The structure is such that multiple notes resonate simultaneously when one note is struck, and all scales are on a single steel plate, making tuning very difficult.
Tuning is done within a range that does not cause discomfort.

Includes a soft carrying bag,
a simple folding tripod,
drumsticks,
and a cleaning cloth. It will be shipped in its original box.

Shipping is included.
We will ship with care.
